What is Pseudo-Sciatica?
Sciatica is often confused as a disease. However, sciatica is actually a symptom of a disease commonly understood as compression of the sciatic nerve. This is mainly caused by a slipped or a herniated disc. Sciatica pain transmits from the lower back via one of the buttocks, along the path of the sciatic nerve at the back of a leg down to the toes. The pain can be excruciating and can aggravate on exertion. In severe cases, the lower back can also get 'locked' in a sideways bending position.
However, conditions other than a compressed sciatic nerve can also create symptoms of pain that mimic the typical sciatica pain. Sciatica-like pain may be triggered if the nerve gets trapped along its path. And for some reason, sciatica has become a general term that is used for any pain that is associated with the buttocks and the legs.
Pseudo-sciatica is the compression of the peripheral sections of the sciatic nerve. The tension in the soft tissue of the piriformis, gluteal and other related muscles is usually the cause behind it. Such tension may be caused by unhealthy posture, sports activity and lack of exercise, as well as these activites:
- Sitting or standing in a particular position for long periods
- Protruding the head for peering at the computer screen
- Regularly lifting the baby out of the back car seat
- Sitting with wallet in the back pocket
- Sitting on chairs with a high seat that puts constant pressure on hamstrings
Gluteal muscles are large skeletal muscles that form the buttocks and help in thigh movement. They run from the pelvis to the hip and are responsible for stabilizing the thigh during walking. Walking too fast or for too long, especially on hard and rough surfaces, can activate hip pain. Holding the foot on the car accelerator may also result in immobilization of the gluteal muscles.
Psoases are two muscles of the abdomen and pelvis that flex the trunk and rotate the thigh. These muscles are continually shortened by sitting for long periods in a reclined position in sloping chairs or sleeping in a fetal position. Tension in these muscles can activate trigger points causing sciatica-like pain.
Such conditions cause, what is known as, pseudo-sciatica.
The standard treatment for pseudo sciatica is similar to sciatic nerve treatmentwith more emphasis on stretching exercises, anti-inflammatory drugs and massages. Sciatica alternative remedies like herbal massages, yogic exercises, chiropractic manipulations and homeopathic treatment can play a pivotal role in treating pseudo-sciatica. All treatment is followed by correcting faults in the gait of the patient and occupational positions.

Pros – Good medical benefit provided by union 727
Cons – Professional development is not recognize by the company. Any self development by an employee is seen as threat by the front line managers
Advice to Senior Management – Employ people who can bring innovations in to the company and also develop a system of recognizing potential in the company instead of the old system of recognizing incompitent loyalist. Parking is a good business especially in the cities and I hope Jim realize this and protect investors interest.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

From the perspective of our westernized view of Christianity, David's desperate cry for deliverance from his enemies does not resonate with Christ's directive to love God with all of our heart and our neighbors as ourselves. Yet, when read in context, this prayer is completely in line with not only the Old Testament but the New Testament as well.
First, David was not a Christian, he was Hebrew. And though it may seem extreme for David to have prayed for his enemies to be punished for their sins, his prayer is part and parcel how he was taught to worship and pray in the Hebraic culture.
Upon further examination of imprecatory (to invoke evil upon or curse one's enemies) prayers, we have to look at who the enemy is. God said that the sins of the fathers would be visited on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate God (Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 5:9). Furthermore, in the Law of Moses God warned that certain sins would bring consequences on the families of the sinner. The first five verses of the Psalm declare David's innocence and the iniquity of his enemies are established. The prayer is to God for good to overcome evil.
Beverly Mattox, Word Alive International Outreach
Context, culture of the day must be considered
One of the best gifts the Bible offers us is the truth without spin. A sales brochure will highlight the best and focus on the beautiful. The Bible reaches down into the very heart of a person, stirs up the muck, clouds the water and then offers God's remedy: Grace, undeserved and unchained.
This Psalm causes us to shy away and not want to read it.
We could talk about the scholarly types of prayer — even how this Psalm was written with a couple of qualifications. The writer is the innocent victim of truly wicked people and is suffering because of his righteousness.
The Psalm sang in the congregation is no different than the martyrs who cry out to God in the New Testament for God's judgment to avenge their blood in Revelation 6:9-10. We need to see this Psalm in the perspective of the time and culture. This Psalm was probably penned in the late Bronze Age. The culture then was just a little bit different. Our culture has changed in our lifetime, for instance, violent video games. A film of this Psalm today would be rated PG.
There is so much more that needs to be said, the nuance, the theological aspects of this Psalm. However, what I take away from this Psalm is not that it is offensive to us today or not, but this is a reflection of the human condition that needs the grace of Christ to transform

Ontario's new Liberal leader and Premier-designate Kathleen Wynne says being a woman and being gay are just labels. Maybe, yet her personal profile surely brings some interesting dynamics into play prior to the next election, whenever that might be.
Most of us think that political fortunes should be based on a leader's ideas, achievements and skills set; moreover their party's ideas and agenda. But there will still be people out there who will cast a vote based on prejudice, or simply because they can identify with the premier's gender and/or sexual orientation. Such rationale might be flawed, but can be a factor.
Many Americans never thought a black man could become a U.S. presidential candidate, let alone win the presidency. And while much of Barak Obama's re-election can be credited to his platform and credentials, some attribute it to his support from black Americans and a growing Hispanic population.
We've already seen many female leaders in the free world, and being openly gay could arguably be a political boon in this day and age, certainly not a hindrance as it would have been decades ago.
One could argue that voters influenced by Wynne being Ontario's first female and openly gay premier will offset one another and that any margin of difference might be insignificant. But with a minority parliament and so much political parity at the provincial level these days, these so-called "labels" could have a huge impact on the outcome of Ontario's future.

Dongri To Dubai: Six Decades Of The Mumbai Mafia is a book about various mafia dons focussing on Dawood Ibrahim in particular. Filled with facts, unknown incidents, and interesting stories, this book is a must-read.
Summary Of The Book
Dongri To Dubai: Six Decades Of The Mumbai Mafia, published in 2012, is a non-fiction book about notorious gangsters and also contains a comprehensive coverage of Dawood Ibrahim's life. This is the first book that presents the history of the Mumbai mafia, and details the lives of Karim Lala, Chhota Rajan, Haji Mastan, Abu Salem, and Varadarajan Mudaliar. The main part of the book revolves around Dawood Ibrahim and describes his story starting from a young age as a boy in Mumbai to the international terrorist he has become today.
This book traces the journey of a boy from Dongri to Dubai. Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar was born in 1955 to a policeman. The author describes Dawood's first robbery, his love affairs during his youth, and how he turned into a local goon. The police used to use him against various Pathan gangsters. Gradually, he managed to destroy the competition, formed the Dawood gang, and ended up being the Mumbai Police's arch nemesis. The don is an ally of Pakistan's ISI, though he is not an Islamic fundamentalist.
Zaidi analyses that this alliance was born out of necessity. Pakistan is said to shelter him though he is one of the most wanted people on this planet, and in return he funds Islamic jihads. Interestingly, Dawood's biggest source of income in Pakistan comes from selling pirated Bollywood movies. The personality and characteristics of Dawood Ibrahim have been covered well in this book. His lust for power, his focus, his shrewdness, and his calculating mind have been captured beautifully.
Dongri To Dubai: Six Decades Of The Mumbai Mafia covers the people behind the major crimes in India. Meticulously researched, this book also has intelligent analysis along with the facts. Dawood Ibrahim's rise from a local to an international gangster is sure to keep readers hooked. The new movie, Shootout At Wadala, is based on this book.

Zaidi has done a remarkable job in tracing the history of the Bombay underworld. But, I am sorry to say that like all other Indian biography/history books it is incomplete and so saying half truths. The author traces the life of Dawood's father with meticulous detail that would give him five stars but not of others! Especially the Hindu Dons and their honchos are left rather softly. Also names, where are the names of the film stars, politicians and police that attended Dawood's famous parties? There are no details of how extortions were carried out and who were the people in Bollywood and Bombay business that were contacted. How did they manage to get off the hook, how did they succumb to the threats and what WERE the threats? How did the underworld get their hands on weapons, where did they source them, who were the people behind the operations? Most frustrating is that the the entire book is soft on the Bombay police force and big politicians. Without their connivance no underworld could exist anywhere. Where are the rogue cops? Where are they now, what happened to them and their wealth? These obvious gaps left me rather frustrated. I bought the book the instant I saw it on the stands trusting Zaidi will tell the whole truth. But it is not so.
Sixty of the organised crime syndicate summarized in one book.
The entire book is based on facts and when you are attempting such a work of non-fiction, it takes a lot of courage and good writing skills to keep the reader interested.
And trust me you won't feel bored even for a single page.
Its thrilling and its fast paced.
What I liked the most is how the author has described, most of the things with minutest of details and given his views on the incidences.
If you are a fan of gangster flicks, you will be able to visualise many scenes which have been adapted in a lot of movies like, Satya, Once upon a time in Mumbai, Company, Shootout at Lokhandwala, etc.
A nice read.
I have been an avid reader and my mind goes tick-tock every time I see books on the shelf. My hands are always itching to grab those books and read at leisure, be it Khushwant Singh's conversational style or narrative style of William Darlymple or even the realistic snapshot of events by Zaidi amongst others. And then the thought crossed my mind, can I take on the role of a critic for myself and post my version or my take on specific books that I have read over a period of time. And I enthusiastically answered myself, Why not?
Apart from reading my interest is travelling, photography, movies and food. And since I have made up my mind about being a regular blogger, all of you will experience flavors across these subjects and I hope that you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I am excited about writing it.
So, here I am, sharing the first account of "From Dongri to Dubai" which i read couple of weeks back.
Seemed like a thick book (not that size matters when it comes to books) but I was a little apprehensive with the fine print but when i started reading it. However, the narrative style took me by surprise and before I realised I understood the psyche of some of the notorious ganglords of Mumbai mafia, be it Haji Mastan, Vardarajan, Lala whom we have also seen in our Bollywood movies like Sarfarosh or Once upon a time in Mumbai. While in movies, the characters have been larger than life with definitely an item number to characterize mafia man's lecherous behavior, Zaidi has successfully shown their personal and the so called professional life in a much more realistic manner. The book not only takes you through some of the religious beliefs that we love to follow for example how a peer baba (religious man) announced that Ibrahim's second son would grow up to become powerful, known, learned and which is why Dawood was put in an English medium school while his siblings went to
a local school. Little did everyone realize that while the prophecy came true, Dawood came nowhere to being known positively. Such a contradiction as Dawood's father was immensely respected even by the ganglords as someone who was extremely honest and stood up for "what he thought was correct" despite anyone's seniority or level, be it police or ganglords.
In his fabulous narrative style, Zaidi transcends to various facets of Dawood's personality, as a protective brother beating the hell out of Pathan or a docile son bearing the beatings of his father or an extremely egoistic and vengeful person who waited for the right moment to strike and create an impact on people (who opposed him), mentally and physically.
I suggest that people who love reading and are inquisitive about police mafia nexus, this book is a must read as not only does it simplify the beginning, how from goods smuggling at the docks, mafia was hand in glove with the environment and moved on to creating black money market, drug business and defied their virtual pact of not touching/involving the families.
Zaidi is an amazing writer and his experience of being an investigative journalist comes through candidly.
After reading his previous two books BLACK FRIDAY AND MAFIA QUEENS OF MUMBAI,there a huge expectations from S.Hussain Zaidi's third much talked about book and i was really fascinated by this book. The book largely indicates the rags to riches story of Dawood ibrahim, one of the most notorious and dreaded gangster in the Mumbai underworld but also shows the growth of the crime in the city. Hussain zaidi's books are always found to be of beat and yet very commercializing and always manages to grab the attention of the readers. the book is engaging,fast paced and a visual treat from the author to his readers. The foreword written by the veteran writer Vikram chandra set up the book very smoothly and the moment when you read the interview of Dawood, you feel not dropping the book even for a moment. The hard work put by the author clearly shows in the book.It clearly shows the growth of Mumbai underworld from the bootleggers to shooter, from the destruction of one gang to the formations of another gang, from the start of a brutal rivalry to loss of an elder brother,from the biggest deal in the history of underworld to killing of a iconic music tycoon of the country. The book clearly shows the the emotions of greed,power,lust and willing to do anything to be the ultimate GODFATHER of the business. ALL IN ALL A MUST READ BOOK....IF YOU HAVE READED PREVIOUS BOOKS OF S.HUSSAIN ZAIDI..YOU WILL SURELY ENJOY THIS BOOK
This is a remarkable book. Excellent written. Eye opener, Never knew such things happened. Lucky enough to have read it. Author has explained the real happenings quite clearly, It took me 7 days to complete it. And i'll recommend it to everybody i know. I also recommend some light love stories here-

MIAMI — A former Central American general is facing a deportation hearing because of atrocities he committed during El Salvador's civil war.
The case of Jose Guillermo Garcia will continue Monday at immigration court in Miami.
The U.S. government is seeking his deportation to El Salvador for human rights violations. A Stanford University political scientist who testified as a government expert in December will be cross examined during Monday's proceeding.
The Center for Justice and Accountability sued Garcia and a former defense minister on behalf of three torture victims for human rights abuses. In 2002 a West Palm Beach jury returned a $54.6 million judgment against them both.
El Salvador's civil war between 1979 and 1992 left 75,000 people dead and thousands more missing.

11 June 2009
This week CJCS Sarmat has started local production of Zolotatya Bochka - one of the leading Russian brands in premium segment at its brewery in Donetsk.
The premium segment is one of the fastest growing in the Ukrainian beer market and has a share of 8.9% in volume terms (according to ACNielsen data Q1 2009). In recent months, Zolotaya Bochka volume growth has demonstrated that it is popular with Ukrainian consumers.
«Local production will make Zolotaya Bochka more accessible at affordable prices for Ukrainian consumers», says Igor Tikhonov, General Director CJSC Sarmat. «We hope that consumers will enjoy excellent classic beer taste and that the brand will win its position in the premium segment of the Ukrainian beer market».
Zolotaya Bochka has been imported to Ukraine from Russia for five years and was positioned in the imported beer segment. Recently Sarmat started the exporting and importing of SABMiller international brands in the Ukraine, and with that, the consumer price was reduced and will be maintained at the same level following the launch of local production.
The launch of local production of Zolotaya Bochka has become possible as a result of new production capabilities. In May this year, a brewery capital upgrade programme was completed. Investments in this programme were approximately USD 12 million. The programme led to the introduction of new unique water treatment equipment, a new product stabilization system and improvement and modernization of packaging line. The first international brand to roll off the line in the new production facility was Velkopopovicky Kozel, which was launched by the Sarmat brewery in April.
Zolotaya Bochka will be brewed in the same traditional recipe and high standards that have made it very popular in Russia; the packaging will remain true to Russian origins while being updated for the Ukrainian market.
Two variants of Zolotaya Bochka Svetloe and Zolotaya Bochka Klassicheskoe will be brewed in Donetsk. They will be available in two types of packaging: bottles and cans 0.5 l, and will be on retail shelves within the next two weeks.
The launch of Zolotaya Bochka will be supported in trade channels and will be aimed at attracting consumer attention to the new product.
CJSC Sarmat

Sarmat brand portfolio includes widespread local beer brands: Sarmat, Dnipro, DriveMax and licensed international brands: Velkopopovicky Kozel and Zolotaya Bochka. Sarmat local brands are popular among all regions of Ukraine and exported to the CIS countries like Russia, Moldova and Belorussia. Being a subsidiary of SABMiller plc, Sarmat imports and distributes SABMiller international and regional worth more brands - Miller Genuine Draft, Redds, and Pilsner Urquell.
Zolotaya Bochka is one of the oldest local premium Russian brands which ranks second in premium segment with market share in value terms 11.0% (according to Nielsen, March 2009, cities of Russia with population from 10 thousand people).

Sade, a Smooth Operator, sings of No Ordinary Love, and Is That A Crime?
The Best of Sade (1994, Epic/Sony) has "Your Love Is King," with the lines, "Your love is king. I crown you in my heart," and "Hang On To Your Love," with the lines, "Gotta stick together, hand in glove, hold tight, don't fight, hang on to your love," and "Smooth Operator," the song about an international lover who lives a "diamond life." Also on The Best of Sade : "Jezebel," a moody ballad, with gorgeously serpentine saxophone playing, is about a girl born with few social assets other than physical appeal, who "when she learned how to walk, she learned to bring the house down." She seems to do questionable things for money and new dresses. Adu's line readings of "Jezebel" are careful, incisive, both sympathetic and tough as she mimes the character's dimensions. "The Sweetest Taboo," is a joyous song, light, up-tempo, about love: "...If I tell you how I feel, will you keep bringing out the best in me?...You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo, too good for me...There's a quiet storm, that is you..." and "every day is Christmas, and every night is New Year's Eve." "Is It A Crime?" is a torchy ballad, beautifully written and performed, moving from detail to detail in language and voice as a woman considers her recent lover's new relationship. Adu sings, "Is it a crime that I still want you, and I want you to want me too? My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake. My love is taller, taller than the Empire State. It dives and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean. I can't give you more than that. Surely you want me back? Is it a crime?"
Good times come and go, and life, "it's like the weather, one day chicken, next day feathers. The rose we remember, the thorns we forget. We love and we leave, we never spend a minute on regret. It's a possibility, the more we know the less we see," sings Adu in "Never As Good As The First Time," a rather brave and witty song for the band's second album. The lyrics of the song capture youthful resilience, which is very different from the singer's crying, "somebody already broke my heart, be careful and be kind."
"I won't hate you, though I have tried. I still really really love you. Love is stronger than pride," Adu sings on the honest and even wise "Love Is Stronger Than Pride." She goes further: "I won't pretend that I intend to stop living. I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving but I can't hate you, although I have tried. I still really really love you. Love is stronger than pride." And this is a terrific detail: "Waiting for you would be like waiting for winter. It's going to be cold—there may even be snow."
I think "Paradise" and "Nothing Can Come Between Us" are two of the weakest songs on the Best Of album; they are good intentions about good intentions. And "No Ordinary Love"—with the lyrics, "I keep crying. I keep trying for you, there's nothing like you and I baby. This is no ordinary love"—is a song I like, I like the idea of no ordinary love, but the lyrics do not convince despite the singer's insistence. (There are no persuasive metaphors or details.) "Like a Tattoo," written by Adu with Hale and Matthewman, has more imaginative language—about love and deception, sun and a distant river, age and youth—but I don't think it's a truly remarkable song, though the idea of shame worn like a tattoo is not uninteresting, and the music's piano and guitar stylings remind me of music from Spain. Oh, maybe it is remarkable.
"Look at the sky, it's the color of love," and "you gave me the kiss of life," Adu sings in "Kiss of Life," unfortunately another good concept without much illustration. "Please Send Me Someone to Love," a prayer for the well-being of mankind that includes a personal wish for a lover is a thoroughly winning song; a slow dance song, it sounds sweet and old-fashioned and it charms. "You show me how good love can be" is a line from "Cherish the Day," a song of commitment, and when I hear Adu sing the line I believe it, but when I think about the line I doubt it. Thinking about the weaker songs in her oeuvre, it's clear to me that Adu's voice—low, a little rough, warm, sincere—is the element that can determine whether a recording, rather than a song (a song is lyrics and music—form, not merely sound), will be deemed good or not, pleasing or not.
"Pearls," written by Adu and Hale, from Love Deluxe and the last song on The Best Of Sade, is one the band's masterful songs: it's a drama featuring a Somalian woman "scraping for pearls on the roadside"; and the lyrics compare the Somalian woman's state ("she cries to the heaven above, there is a stone in my heart") to the pain of new shoes, an intentionally inadequate contrast, a way of saying there's little in a comfortable western life, and in Sade Adu's life, that compares to such fundamental need. The "pearls" the woman searches for on a roadside for her little girl seem to be fallen grains of rice. (The year before Love Deluxe 's release, in 1991, Angelique Kidjo's album Logozo, on Mango/Island Records, had a song on it, "Kaleta," that presaged "Pearls." Written by Kidjo and Jean Hebrail, "Kaleta," said, "You who watch me from above, you who remain indifferent before the children who are killed, remember that you are not immortal. For he who remains silent before the misery of our children should not forget that suffering and death spare no one.") In "Pearls" the Somalian woman "lives in a world she didn't choose and it hurts like brand new shoes." Isn't choice the essence of freedom? Some of us work hard to have choices; and we convince ourselves we have choices even when circumstances deny them. We insist on the ability to choose our own attitudes to dire circumstances if all other choices are gone. Most importantly, with this song, as with others, it is easy to see that Sade Adu extends to people very different from herself a friendship, love, and sympathy similar to that she feels for her intimate acquaintances, making inequality of wealth, making politics, deeply humane, intelligent, and a fit subject for art. Of course, it was Auden who noted in his "Musee des Beaux Arts" that artists have long known that suffering takes place while someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along; many may know, but not all show. Sade Adu, Andrew Hale, Stuart Matthewman, and Paul S. Denman, and the musicians and producers who have helped to produce their songs, have been creative and more: they have been transformative, transforming passions into believable stories and also the facts of common lives into ideas and images that are hard to forget, something requiring no ordinary love.

DUBLIN, February 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5r4r4c/video) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Video Surveillance and VSaaS Market - Forecast to 2019" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
The global market for video surveillance and VSaaS was valued at USD 12.58 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach USD 42.81 billion by 2019, growing at a CAGR of 19.1% during the forecast period from 2013 to 2019. The market is majorly driven by increasing security measures in order to prevent terrorism and crime. In addition, business organizations and general public have started recognizing the need and importance of obtaining useful data from surveillance footage, which in turn, is contributing to the demand of video analytics. Further, owing to the shift from analog to IP cameras, there is need for large capacity storage which is driving the demand for cloud based storage and services (VSaaS).
In recent years, the security of individuals, property and information have become critical global issues. With increasing incidences of terrorism and crime, demand for physical security solutions has peaked. Today, there is a huge need for effective security solutions which can deter criminal activities. For this purpose, video surveillance systems prove to be of great help. Video surveillance can help prevent many undesirable activities by maintaining a vigilant eye on every move at every place of importance and has become a necessity of modern society.
The different components of video surveillance and VSaaS include hardware, software and services. Hardware segment includes cameras, recorders and storage, encoders and monitors while software comprises video management software (VMS) and video analytics. The services can be hosted, managed or hybrid. Among the product segments, camera segment accounted for around 24% share in 2012 of the total video surveillance and VSaaS market. The demand for cameras is driven by increased use in applications such as traffic monitoring, security as well as demographic monitoring. Moreover, upcoming major sports events such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, 2016 Brazil Olympics, Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, and 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia among others are also expected to boost the demand for surveillance cameras during the forecast period. Another important factor to be considered is increasing trend of replacing analog cameras by IP-based cameras in high-end applications which would further drive the market for cameras.

For being Maria's fans, everyone would know that Maria has been wanting to get a gold medal in Olympic, does it affect the world ranking of a tennis player?
Plus, will Maria come to HK for HK Classic?
For a Gold Medal, a player acquires 800 ranking points. These do not expire all at once the next year, I think, but at a rate of 200 per year until the next Olympiad. I assume Silver & Bronze have a lesser point weight, but I dunno what they are.
Far as I know, Maria has not announced intention to play any exhibitions during the winter.

so far he looks like the love child of montana and brady. the one interesting comment they made about caldwell is he gets the plays in fast giving flacco lots of time to see the defense prior to the snap. makes me wonder how quick ben gets the plays cause this seems to be making a huge difference for flacco.
It's got to help that he's not feeling much pressure. 9ers need to ramp it up if they want to be in this game.
Schiavone's Race Career:

Flacco has good protection and a top-shelf core of WRs ant TEs to catch the ball. Plus Ray Rice.
To me, that is the worst thing about this entire postseason (even factoring in the increased chance that Baltimore now wins this game). I've always loved being able to count on Flacco to blow it when the game mattered, but the second half of the season and into the postseason he has turned a corner and is the confidence he will have moving forward is going to be dangerous to deal with.
Now you just have to hope that Baltimore obscenely overpays him, ruining their cap situation in the future, and he never lives up to this level of play again.

LOL!! The ´ditto´ picture reminded me of some decorations I saw a few years back around here. Twelve houses in a small subdivision were each decorated as one of the ´twelve days of Christmas´. They were very nicely done and fun to look at but at the end of the street was one more house with no decorations - just a sign in the yard that said ´Scrooge´.Thank you for posting these. ´Hunting´ Christmas lights is one of my favorite family traditions.

There used to be a neighborhood in Phoenix where the whole street went over the top, except for one house who just put ´Oy Vey´ in huge lights on his roof. LOL

Great lighting and great jobs.I am one of the few "vintage holdouts". I pass on the white icicles lights, twinkle lights, or those dim, slightly depressing inflatable decorations.To me, it´s all about bursting color. I use ONLY c-9 OPAQUE bulbs, mixed in with oddball colors, and vintage ones as well. These are no longer sold in most stores, although you can still get some of the replacement bulbs. Fortunately, online you can find them all, and there is STILL one place that makes blow-molded Santas and Nativity scenes, bright and colorful.Call me old fashioned, but that is the Christmas look for me.

There is a farm near me which is completely covered in lights each Christmas - all of the fences and out buildings, the trees and shrubs and the main house. We jokingly call it the Bah Humbug house. It´s beautiful at night and people come from all over the county to see it.

Along with lights on the palm trees and bushes, there is a Nativity set in our front yard that DH´s parents started using in 1957. They bought the original pieces, then when we started using it in 1977, we added the wise men, a shepherd and some sheep. Some of the faces have been faded by the Florida sun but it still looks pretty good to be so old. Neighbors always look forward to seeing it.

Berkeley Rep Presents RUINED, Previews 2/25
This March, Berkeley Repertory Theatre proudly presents Ruined, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. A powerful new play about the harrowing lives of women in Africa, Ruined is written by Lynn Nottage and directed by Liesl Tommy. A collaboration between Berkeley Rep, Huntington Theatre Company, and La Jolla Playhouse, this production has already earned seven awards - including Outstanding Dramatic Production - from the San Diego Critics Circle. It begins previews in the state-of-the-art Roda Theatre on February 25, opens March 2, and closes April 10.
"In Ruined, the women do a fragile dance between hope and disillusionment in an attempt to navigate life on The Edge of an unforgiving conflict," Nottage remarks. "I was fueled by my desire to tell the story of war, but through the eyes of women, who as we know rarely start conflicts, but inevitably find themselves right smack in the middle of them. I was interested in giving voice and audience to African women living in The Shadows of war."
"With this play, Lynn Nottage transforms cataclysmic historic events into stunning drama," says Tony Taccone, artistic director of Berkeley Rep. "She creates an astonishing array of characters and imbues them with a life force that is powerful and ultimately triumphant. By the end we are released, liberated from our preconceived ideas, and connected to people we don't know. This script combines with compelling performances and the exquisite work of our creative team to create a transcendent experience that I am honored to share with our audiences."
Ruined provides a bleak yet beautiful look at the lives of women in a land ruled by whiskey and bayonets. As civil war ravages the Congo, the lucky ones find a home - and a regular meal - in a ramshackle building that serves as both brothel and refuge. Whether merchant, miner, or soldier, the man you meet in the morning may be your enemy by sundown. Yet all of them come through Mama's door for booze and a bit of comfort. Mama Nadi protects her girls with rough compassion, even as she profits from their bodies. This timely script tells an intense and important tale filled with humanity, hope, and unexpected humor. When Mama talks, you'd better listen.
"Sincere, passionate, courageous, and acutely argued, Ruined is a remarkable theatrical accomplishment [with] a strongly affirmative sense," the Chicago Tribune reports. "This is both a celebration of the endurance and vitality of African women and an unstinting call for us to keep them safer." As the Wall Street Journal says, "Ruined, in which she shows us what things have come to in the bloody, brutal land that dares to call itself the Democratic Republic of Congo, leaves no doubt that the author of Intimate Apparel and Crumbs from the Table of Joy is one of the best playwrights that we have."
Ruined is supported by many generous sponsors. BART and Wells Fargo have renewed their commitment as season sponsors at Berkeley Rep, and the 2010-11 season producers are Marjorie Randolph and Wayne Jordan and Quinn Delaney. The executive producers for the local run of Ruined are Bill Falik and Diana Cohen, Jack and Betty Schafer, Shirley D. and Philip D. Schild, the Strauch Kulhanjian Family, and Jean and Michael Strunsky. The production sponsor is the Ira and Leonore Gershwin Philanthropic Fund.
Lynn Nottage's play Ruined won the Pulitzer Prize for drama, as well as the Drama Desk Award, the inaugural Horton Foote Prize for Outstanding New American Play, the Lucille Lortel Award, the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, an Obie Award, and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Play. It made its world premiere at the Goodman Theater and its London premiere at The Almeida Theatre, and is playing at numerous regional theatres in the United States this year. Nottage's other plays include Crumbs from the Table of Joy; Fabulation, or The Re-Education of Undine, which received an Obie Award; Intimate Apparel, which received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play and became the nation's most produced play in 2005-06; Las Meninas; Mud, River, Stone; Por'knockers; and POOF! Her many other honors include the August Wilson Playwriting Award, the Dramatists Guild's Hull-Warriner Award, the Guggenheim Grant for Playwriting, the MacArthur "Genius" Award, the PEN/Laura Pels Award for Drama, and the Steinberg Distinguished Playwright Award. She is a graduate oF Brown University and Yale School of Drama.

Lee Catoe
YAV in Nashville
Nashville Epiphany Project
I am a small town southern guy who really doesn't belong in a small town. I am a graduate of Presbyterian College in Clinton, S.C. with a degree in Biology. My ultimate goal is to pursue a career in the public health field working in International Medicine; however, I also plan to go to seminary one day. I have a huge passion for music especially singing and playing guitar. I love the outdoors and anything that involves making things (crafts, cooking, etc.). I am a huge movie buff and when it comes to clothes, I'm kind of obsessed.
My call to mission came while I was in college. My campus minister was someone who I truly look up to and she was a huge part in my wanting to work with college students. During my YAV year, I will be working with the Presbyterian Student Fellowship of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. I will be assisting in planning worship services, mentoring to college students, introducing them to social issues, and planning other events involving alumni and currently enrolled students. I am really excited about this year and so ready to be in Music City!!
The Young Adult Volunteer program is a year-long service program for young adults between ages 19 and 30. Read more about the YAV program here
Lee, you are in my prayers this morning as I read about your year of service in the Mission Yearbook. Blessings on your ministry! Grace and peace, Judy Ferguson Certified Christian Educator Kerrville, TX

The 1990s would prove to be one of the most frustrating periods in the company's history.
The lengthy hiatus that followed Hammer House Of Mystery and Suspense seemed to be broken with the thirteen-episode compilation series The World of Hammer for British television in 1990. The series, narrated by Oliver Reed, would sit on the shelves until finally being broadcast in 1994.
1994 also saw the broadcast on the BBC of a two-part documentary on Hammer - Flesh And Blood. It would mark the end of Hammer's long association with Peter Cushing, who died not long after completing work on the project.
In the mid-1990s Hammer were involved in various projects, including a major co-production deal with Warner Bros., which ultimately came to nothing. As the decade drew to a close, chairman Roy Skeggs looked to pastures new and a wind of change was in the air...

Many troops in Iraq with brain injuries may be returning to duty. That's right -– they're not getting treatment –- not even getting a break –- but going right back into the field. We've been reporting on the enormous numbers of brain injuries among Iraq vets for the past two nights. (Read part one here; part two here.) I'll reiterate the numbers and the reasons below. We could not fit this aspect of the story in these two reports, so I want to point it out here.
According to the VA doctors who run the rehabilitation programs for brain injuries, when troops are wounded in the field they are evacuated immediately if they have any obvious wounds. But the signature enemy weapon of this war has been the roadside bomb – the IED. The human brain is the consistency of gelatin and the force from the explosion shakes it ferociously. Many thousands of troops in Iraq have felt the blast of an IED. If they are knocked unconscious, according the VA docs, they too are evacuated to a field hospital for evaluation. But if they are not and if they do not complain of a problem, they remain on duty.
Specialists in brain injury know all too well that people can suffer brain problems without losing consciousness. One of the most frightening aspects of brain injury is that brain-injured people often lose the ability to know something is wrong.
Dr. Harriet Zeiner, a VA psychologist and brain injury specialist, was recently on a conference call with medical officials at several military treatment facilities including hospitals in Iraq. "One of the things commanders are trying to determine," she says, "is that after someone has been exposed to five and six concussive blasts are they still battle ready? Frankly, that floored us. You could have very significant effects from one exposure, and now they're trying to figure out if people who've been exposed five and six times should be going back into battle."
To follow up on those comments, I called the Pentagon several times to request an interview with someone who would explain the policy of what field commanders do to determine if troops are suffering brain injury, and what is the policy for returning them to duty. My requests were denied repeatedly.
But beyond that problem, as we have been reporting, the toll of brain injury in this war is enormous. Almost 18,000 troops have been wounded according the Department of Defense. The VA doctors say that two-thirds of them have been injured by IED blasts and two-thirds of those exposed to blasts suffer some brain injury -- ranging from a mild concussion to permanent damage. Brain injuries -– thousands of them –- could be the legacy of this war just as much as post-traumatic stress and problems from exposure to Agent Orange persisted among many of the troops who served in Vietnam.
